FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
John Joseph Kennedy of South Carolina Formally Announces His Candidacy for President of the United States as Democratic Write-In Candidate
CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA--JULY 20, 2004.
For historical reasons, John Joseph Kennedy returned to his family’s beloved native homeland of South Carolina to launch his candidacy for President of the United States of America as a write-in candidate for 2004 to “right the wrongs of America,” Kennedy said.
Seven generations ago, Kennedy’s family immigrated to America from their ancestral home of Tipperary, Ireland and settled in Charleston, South Carolina. Kennedy’s Great-Grandfather, Congressman Michael Francis Kennedy I, was the first of the Kennedy bloodline in American politics. He was elected to two terms in South Carolina’s House of Representatives from 1882-1886. In 1882 he also co-organized and attended the Irish Land League in Philadelphia, Pa. creating laws and regulations to protect the personal and tenancy rights of poor Irish immigrants in America. In South Carolina’s archival records it says, that as a youth of only 16, Michael Francis Kennedy was one of the first to pick up his rifle to defend the South in the Civil War.
“In the same fighting spirit of my great grandfather, my noble D’Arcy ancestors before him, and President John Fitzgerald Kennedy, I too, pick up the sword to defend my country,” Kennedy said, “that is why I am running for the Presidency.”
“I have been watching the campaign very closely and I did not hear one candidate speak the truth America deserves to hear. After being asked repeatedly, I decided to run as a True Democrat and write-in candidate.” Kennedy said.
“The most critical truth is that the four primary candidates for the highest offices in our land this year, Mr. George W. Bush, Mr. Dick Cheney, Senator John Kerry and Senator John Edwards all voted for the war in Iraq. Period. Each man had an opportunity for greatness and they failed. They failed the American people and the world. Their names are forever etched in history.” Kennedy lamented.
Kennedy’s campaign is “America first!” and based on ten key issues including: National Security, Iraq (cease the United States occupation and rebuild with the United Nations), Stop the war against Children (Non-Violence in schools, homes, children’s television programming, etc.), Non-Violence in the Media (all genres), Compassionate Mission to end the war on Homelessness, Universal Health Care/Health, Restoration of our Civil & Constitutional Rights (repeal the fraudulent Patriot Act), Environment & Environmental Justice, Rebuild International Relations and a Spirit of Entrepreneurship for America.
Ironically, South Carolina is one of the few states that does not allow write-in candidates for the Presidency. “I am aware of this and we must get this law changed. It is interesting to note that Strom Thurmond ran as a write-in candidate for Senator against the nominee of the South Carolina Democratic Party, Edgar Brown in 1954, the year I was born. He defeated Brown and became the first person in U.S. history to be elected to a major office by write-in-ballot. South Carolinians can vote for me by not voting for any presidential candidate on the ballot in November.
The future of America is literally in the hands of the American people. The handwriting is on the wall and America can literally write me in as their next President. We have 100 days to change the world!” Kennedy concluded.
For 30 years John Joseph Kennedy has been an outstanding community leader, humanitarian, champion of children’s rights, environmentalist, motivational speaker, entrepreneur and a man of extraordinary vision!
“A brighter day with JJK!”
CHAPTER ONE
ATLANTA LIVE!
ON OCTOBER 6, 2003 I APPEARED ON ATLANTA LIVE, a Christian broadcast program that reaches approximately 15 million people live in a number of states including Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Puerto Rico and several foreign countries via satellite.
I had been invited by the show's producer, Sheila Zabosnick, to appear for a 15 minute segment to promote my second documentary TV special, The Whale Magic Show. I had produced and hosted this one hour program to raise environmental consciousness for the oceans and to promote the protection and preservations of whales; two topics near and dear to my heart.This new episode was entitled Save God's Royal Critters to appeal to humanity and to educate them about the dangerous conditions of the world's oceans and the dramatic and dangerous peril to all marine life.I was excited to appear on Atlanta Live as Sheila had been trying to book it for months. I was also honored to appear as I always see this as an opportunity to further my cause for the oceans and whales. I also found it interesting that a Christian program had invited me to appear and felt the hand of God was in this.
Generally, the program is hosted by one host, a minister; a man or woman of God who interviews the guest or guests. When I arrived at the studio, I was delighted to meet Sheila in person as we had talked numerous times on the telephone. Each time we spoke her Spirit was so alive and refreshing you could feel the electricity in her voice. It was filled with love and a confidence that only comes from God.When I saw Sheila I was astounded by how much she looked like my family, especially on my mother's side. I knew instantly we were kindred spirits and that there was more going on behind the scenes, spiritually, and that I was definitely meant to be there. We visited for a few minutes and then Sheila escorted me to the Green Room where she introduced me to not one, but two ministers that were going to interview me for the show.
After greeting them warmly, one of the ministers laid his hand on my left shoulder, patted it gently and simply called me John. I felt a rush of the Holy Spirit surge through me as he touched me. I instantly felt peace and calm and knew this was a second affirmation that I was at the right place at the right time. I always look for signs. Spiritual sign. Affirmations to proceed, or warnings of caution. The Lord works in wonderful and mysterious ways.
When the show was ready to begin, we walked into the studio. It was a large studio and comfortably decorated with purple and green trim on the wallpaper and the same accents throughout the set. I had chosen a beautiful new tie I had recently purchased at Brooks Brothers that was dark blue with the exact same regimental strips of purple and green across it. In between the strips were rows of the small Brooks Brothers' signature logo, the Golden Fleece embroidered across the tie. I had chosen this tie for the interview because the Golden Fleece represents the Lamb of God. I thought this would be an appropriate tie for such an occasion; however I had no idea it would match exactly the color décor of the set. Third affirmation. Everything comes in threes.
The biblical scripture theme for the show that day was announced on air. I knew it would have significant meaning to me so I picked up the bible that lay next to me on the pew in the audience and opened it and read: "….whatsoever you doeth to the least of my brothers, that you do unto me."I thought of the whales and all marine life, the poor, the homeless, innocent men, women and children dying in the evil wars perpetuated by the Bush Family. I thought of all who perished on September 11th and the Oklahoma City bombing. When you open one door it's a floodgate.
I quickly collected my thoughts and focused on the interview taking place with their first guest. I was the second featured guest and during a break they quickly seated me on the sofa on the set. One minister sat to my left in a wing backed chair and the other one sat on the sofa with me, to my right. The interview opened with enthusiasm and they asked the typical questions about me and my new television special. Nothing out of the ordinary. They showed clips from my program and then went to a break.
During the break, off camera, the minister to my right suddenly said out of the blue: "John, are you going to run for the Presidency?"Taken aback, I replied: "I would like to be president of the ocean kingdoms, which represent 70% of the earth, but I have no plans to run for President of the United States." It was an honest answer.
The minister calmly responded: "Well, John, I think God has something great in store for you. You look like a President. Even your profile is Presidential. I feel God is going to call you to run for the Presidency of the United States," he said confidently.
Needless to say, my heart was pierced. A wave of Truth, combined with the gravity of the statement, and the awesome responsibility of such an endeavor, washed over me; through me. It was both electrifying and shocking. I knew in my heart of heart that God was indeed speaking to me through this wonderful man. I knew that God had brought me to this station to give me this profound message. The program resumed and they asked me to stay for another 15 minutes as we had much to talk about. I was honored to do this.I left the studio that night filled with the Holy Spirit. Happy at the encounter with meeting Sheila, the two ministers and knowing I had done an excellent job. It went very well. And last, but not least, I was profoundly moved, even frightened by the words that kept echoing in my mind: "John, are you going to run for the Presidency?" Wow!
This was not the first time I had heard those words. However, it was the context in which the message was delivered; the timing, the state of our nation, the crisis in our world, the insidious and evil cancer growing in our government, the ongoing corruption and deception in the White House and from our "leaders" that made me take heed. It was my wake up call and deep inside, at the soul level, I knew it was almost time to do what God wanted me to do. God was calling, and you can't say no to God! But it was still a daunting thought; a daunting task. How in the world could I do this? How in the world could I pull this off? How would I get started? When would I run? So many questions kept swimming around my head. I kept going back to what I had been hearing God say to me for the past year: "Get ready. Be prepared. And will the real John Kennedy please stand up!
"Each time I heard those words they pierced me, yet I didn't know exactly what they meant until after the interview on Atlanta Live!The next day I met with my executive assistant, Gayle, at my high rise condo in Midtown Atlanta. Gayle had watched the show the night before. She thought the interview was terrific and congratulated me. I replied, "But Gayle, you didn't even see the best part!"
"I watched the whole show." She responded, quizzically."The best part happened during the break, off camera." I said excitedly and explained to her what had happened.She was blown away, but not completely shocked. Gayle is also a very spiritual person and more often than not we spend our time talking about matters of the Spirit instead of my work and projects. It just happens spontaneously. The power of the Holy Spirit!Between the two of us we can go for hours receiving and exchanging messages from the Divine, finishing each others sentences, and lost in the rapture of the Holy Spirit. Then, suddenly, we will realize we have been doing "higher work" for hours and most of the business matters would have to take second place. We always laughed about this because it happened almost every time we got together. Spirit would come in and speak to us. "When two or more are gathered in His name…"
Gayle listened intently as I explained what happened. Her eyes alight, she looked at me and said, "Remember what God has been saying to you: 'Get ready! Be prepared! And will the real John Kennedy please stand up!' That's it! It makes perfect sense now. He wants you to stand up for America! Stand up for Him!" she said joyfully."Oh, my God! You're right!" I replied, startled. It all started to sink in; like a huge piece of the puzzle just came together.
"What will my platform be?" I asked, hesitantly.
"Your life is your platform!" she said without hesitation. "Your work is your platform. Whale Magic is your platform, the environment is your platform. The oceans, the whales and the dolphins are your platform. And especially the children! The children are your platform! Non-violence in the media, everything you have been working on for the last 30 years of your life is your platform! Hello?!" she said and snapped her fingers as if to say: "Wake up!
"We both laughed, but deep in my soul I knew she was right. I was a bit perplexed because I have never seen my life or my work as a political platform. I have only seen it as the next right thing to do. The next cause or project that my heart and soul called me to do for humanity, for children, for the oceans; for all life. How beautiful, I thought. God had been preparing me in so many ways for this destiny. It all made sense now.
Gayle continued enthusiastically; she was on a roll."While all the other candidates and politicians are out there being bought by special interest groups and God knows who else, you have been living your platform. You have been living your dream, struggling for years. Yours is not a campaign of fancy words, slogans and dubious deeds created to get elected! Yours is a real life testament of who you are. What you stand for. What you have accomplished in your lifetime by just being you! Just being John. Not to get elected to public office one day, but just because you genuinely care for children, the environment, truth, justice and the betterment of humanity. And above all, because you believe in, and love, God. You are the most spiritual man I have ever known. If God didn't groom you for this, then who did he? There is not one other candidate out there who can touch you. You have it all!" She said, emphatically.Then, as an afterthought her eyes lit up brightly and she said pointedly, "Why do you think he gave you your beautiful name, John Joseph Kennedy?" Case closed.
I just sat back on my sofa, humbled beyond belief, as Gayle's words washed over me. I knew God was speaking through her as never before, but I was trying to put all the pieces together in my mind. The who, what, when, where, how and why's. The questions of the ego, the intellect. I was trying to put it in some real-time perspective. I was trying to put the square peg in the round hole. It didn't make sense from the intellect, but it made perfect sense to my heart and soul. I understood it completely, clearly form the eyes of my soul, and yet, I was still trying to figure out how and why."When should I enter the race?" I asked, cautiously.
Gayle could see the weight of the world on my shoulders, and probably the panic in my eyes. She looked lovingly at me and smiled. She reached for my hand, squeezed it reassuringly and profoundly said, "Get ready John, you will know not the hour that God will call, but he will call! And you will be ready…"
After she left, I sat on the sofa in silence. Then the tears started to flow. Nighttime was falling and as dusk drew near the shadows from the candles I had burning cast flickering light around my living room. I looked around the room with the sea of beautiful, framed photographs of my family and loved ones; past and present, those who had inspired my life in so many ways; my great grandfather, Congressman Michael Francis Kennedy I, a two term Congressman from South Carolina from 1882-1886 and the very first of the Kennedy bloodline in American politics.I scanned the photographs of my parents, Mr. and Mrs. Michael Francis Kennedy III, President Kennedy, Bobby on his wedding day, Jackie leaving the White House in a flurry of snow that matched her beautiful and elegant satin gown, smiling broadly, on her way to the first inaugural ball.I looked at the photographs of my beloved sister, Cecilia Madeline Kennedy, my closest sister, who had tragically died in 1997. I studied the happier times reflected in so many photographs of me and Cecilia; on Christmas day long ago, laughing at a reunion in Beverly Hills, a family portrait, and some of her modeling pictures. So many wonderful memories; now bittersweet.
I walked around the room and picked up framed photographs of my brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles, cousins and friends; all collected together. Frozen in time. I looked into their faces, into their eyes as I have never looked before. I was looking for answers. They all seemed to be smiling back at me and my heart kept hearing them say: "You're the one!" "You're the new Kennedy God has chosen." "We're behind you!" "We've been waiting a long time for this, John." "We're so proud of you!" "We love you!" "You can do it!"
The tears continued to flow. Warm tears. Healing tears. I knew I would not just be running for the Presidency for me. I was standing up for all of my family, all my ancestors. The present generation of Kennedy's and D'Arcy's, and the many generations to come. It was a sobering, profound moment I shall never forget.
As I went to sleep that night my ego kept haunting me. So many unanswered questions. "How in the world am I going to do this?" For the life of me it was such an enormous vision that I couldn't fully wrap my mind around it. Then I found great comfort, spiritual comfort in my answer: "I can't do this, but God can!"
I knew it was going to take a miracle. I believe in miracles. I knew that America and the world needed a miracle of hope, especially now, and if God wanted me to run for the Presidency then it was going to take a miracle.
But I still hadn't grasped that I was the miracle of hope the world was waiting for! However, I knew without a doubt that God had been preparing me for this moment, this miracle, my entire life.

“THE PEN IS MIGHTIER THAN THE SWORD!”
MY BIRTH
"Oh my God, he looks like a bullfighter!”
When my mother held me for the first time she looked at me and spontaneously said: “Oh my God, he looks like a bullfighter!” She was heavily sedated and after the nurse took me away she fell asleep. Later that day another nurse came in and said, “Mrs. Kennedy have you seen your new baby?” My mother had been so out of it, she didn’t remember and replied: “No, please bring him in.”
The lady sharing the room with her, turned to her and said: “Mrs. Kennedy you have seen your son - and you know what you said about him?” My mother was surprised and replied “no”. She was quite astonished as the lady relayed the story about me looking like a bullfighter!
The nurse brought me in, and when my mother saw me this time, she said: “I take it back, he looks like the bull!” So began my life!
So I began my life hearing the first words out of my mother’s mouth that I looked like a bullfighter, then a bull! This used to amuse me to no end every time I heard this story. However, later I would fully understand the prophetic meaning behind my mother’s words. They were an affirmation of what I would become; charging full force into life and fighting the good fight!
* * * * * * * * * * *
I was named John Joseph Kennedy after my great-great grandfather John D’Arcy Kennedy of Charleston, South Carolina and my uncle John Hand Kennedy, Sr. my father younger brother and a well-known trial lawyer in Oklahoma City. My middle name came from my great aunt, Dr. Josephine St. Bridget Kennedy, my father’s spinster aunt and a Doctor of Chemistry from Charleston, South Carolina. I have always loved my name.

MY HERITAGE
THE KENNEDY’S OF CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA
I am descendant of ancient French and Spanish royalty and a member of the aristocratic Kennedy bloodline, the founding Kennedy family in American politics; the acclaimed Kennedy’s of Charleston. My family immigrated to America seven generations ago from their ancestral homes of Paris, France and Tipperary, Ireland and settled in Charleston, South Carolina.
I am the great-great grandson of John D'Arcy Kennedy (Ancient French House of D’Arcy-of direct royal descent of King Charlemagne, Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire) and Caroline Marguerite de Rodriques Kennedy (de Rodriques lineage of Caracas, Venezuela), landowners and civic patrons of Charleston, South Carolina.
I am the great grandson of South Carolina statesman and philanthropist, Congressman Michael Francis Kennedy Sr. and Margaret Hand Butterly Kennedy of New York City. A Civil War Rifleman in his youth, my great grandfather, Congressman Kennedy was the first of the Kennedy family in American politics, serving two-terms in South Carolina’s House of Representatives from 1882-1886.
I am the great grandnephew of Congressman Patrick Henry Kennedy (South Carolina’s House of Representatives 1923-1925), the grandson of Dr. and Mrs. Michael Francis Kennedy Jr. (Caroline Christy of the Christy’s of Atlanta, Ga.), and the son of Mr. and Mrs. Michael Francis Kennedy III. President John Fitzgerald Kennedy’s branch of the family, are distant cousins. They came to America and settled in Boston two generations after my family arrived and settled in Charleston.
My father, MFK III, was a pioneer television producer and personality in the 1950’s starring and producing his own daily show, Michael Kennedy’s Platter Parade for NBC. He was also a news anchor for radio and television for NBC affiliates.
My life and fight for the rights of humanity mirrors that of my Kennedy and D’Arcy ancestors. Three of my ancestors, Baron Robert D'Arcy, Lord Norman D'Arcy and Sir Thomas D'Arcy were major feudal barons who initiated and enforced the Magna Carta against King John of England. They were present at its signing in 1215, thus initiating constitutional law and government and the legal system of England.
The Magna Carta has withstood the test of time for constitutional law protecting the rights of humanity in many parts of the world, and is the precursor of the American Constitution. In the 14th century the D'Arcys were appointed to the highest positions in Ireland and Sir John D'Arcy was appointed Justice of Ireland by King Edward II in 1323. The Countess Jane D'Arcy was lady-in-waiting to Marie Antoinette, Queen of France and her nephew, another John D'Arcy founded the town of Cliften, Ireland. Joan D'Arc, the famous French martyr was a member of another branch of my noble family.

MEETING PRESIDENT KENNEDY 1961
I was 7 years old when my father called to me. “John, I have a surprise for you. Let’s go for a ride.” I was thrilled and jumped in the front seat next to my father. “I want to take you somewhere.” He said.
I was so excited just to be singled out. Just to go on a journey alone with my beloved father. I felt special and thought that wherever we were going it couldn’t be any better than riding next to my father in his car. It was dark outside as he drove us downtown. I thought maybe we were going to his office or my uncle’s law office, but we didn’t end up there.
My father took me to the Civic Center in downtown Oklahoma City. There was a huge crowd gathered outside and inside the Civic Center. It was very exciting. There was electricity in the air, but it was different. It was not the same kind of crowd as the circus or the Harlem Globetrotters that my father used to take us to. It was a different kind of electricity. I thought, what in the world is this? What’s all the excitement about?
My father held my hand and there he was, President John Fitzgerald Kennedy! I mainly remember the swarm of people, the chaos, electricity and magic in the air. And to this day, I can still see the bright, white light surrounding President Kennedy. It was like a white neon halo, except around his entire being. I would later realize this was his aura. I could barely see the man for the bright, bright light around him. I didn’t fully understand this until later. I was seeing his aura. My father drove in silence home. I wondered why me, of all the kids, did he take me to see the President? I was so happy and grateful for this experience, however I didn’t fully understand it until many years later.
My father was showing me my future destiny.

THE DAY THE PRESIDENT DIED 1963
…The other significant thing I recall about this time, this dramatic shift in my life and our history was the tragic day President Kennedy died. I remember the principle, Sister Frances Helen, coming to our room and announcing to our teacher, Miss Elana Viso and us the sad news. “Children, President Kennedy has been shot.” She said stoically.
I remember chaos ensuing and Sister Frances Helen telling Miss Viso that my father had been called and was on his way to pick us up. I was asked if I wanted to wait in the office, but something told me I was needed in the classroom. Then everything went blank. I went into shock and for 30 years I would block out what happened next.
God works in mysterious ways, as does our minds. It is a blessing, sometimes, to block out pain, and painful memories. However, I would learn 30 years later how I reacted that day. One of my classmates named Mary, that I had not seen in more than 20 years, came to visit me. She had lived in another state most of her adult life and had a very troubled and sad life.
While we sat and reminisced about the past, suddenly, out of the blue she said: “John, do you remember what you did for me the day President Kennedy died?” “No,” I replied curiously.
“When the principle announced the news everyone started crying, except you! They tried to take you to the office to remove you from the classroom because you were a Kennedy, you were John Kennedy. I remember you asked if you could stay. I was crying hysterically and all I member is you coming up to me and hugging me and telling me, over and over, that everything would be ok.”
I was stunned.
“Your loss was the greatest, and yet you were consoling me and others. You were so loving and compassionate and calm during this tragedy. You held me and made me feel safe and I never had a chance to say thank you, until now.”
* * * * * * * * * * *
OLIVER STONE’S JFK 1990
I also had another profound experience later in my life that to my surprise also unearthed another layer of unresolved grief around the loss of President Kennedy.
In 1990 I was living in Dallas, Texas. I had moved there in 1987 and was modeling part-time for the famous Kim Dawson Modeling Agency. I was also developing one of my creative endeavors and my work took me to Los Angeles. So in 1990 I was spending a lot of time in California. I was living part-time at the Beverly Hills Hotel when I received a surprise phone call. It was Eddy from my modeling agency in Dallas saying that Oliver Stones’ production company was in Dallas scouting for the movie JFK. He told me they had contacted them and had seen my comp card.
“Are you sitting down?” Eddy asked cautiously. There was both excitement and apprehension in his voice.
“Yes, I am,” I replied anxiously.
“John, can you come back to Dallas for a screen test? Oliver Stone is considering you to play JFK in his new movie?” he said with baited breath.
“What?” I exclaimed. I didn’t know rather to be excited or to cry. “Is this a joke?” I asked.
“No! John, they saw your card and his casting director called and asked if you were available and would you be willing to do a screen test.” Eddy said, hardly able to conceal his excitement. He continued: “John Kennedy playing John Kennedy! Imagine the publicity!” he said buoyantly.
I was speechless.
I flew to Dallas a few days later for the screen test. I had mixed emotions about this. On one hand I was flattered, even honored that I would be chosen to play the greatest and most historic Presidents of my time, yet I was filled with confusion because of the gravity of the role and how close it was hitting to home. There were other emotional factors involved that I will describe later, but my first focus was on what the role would actually entail and could I play such a role. I had modeled successfully for years – GQ, Armani, Ralph Lauren, etc., but I had never really acted. I had been an extra in a few movies and on the television series Falcon Crest, non-speaking roles, but modeling and acting are two very different professions.
I remember learning that the role of JFK was brief. It would only entail the parade in Dallas, the assassination scene and the autopsy. Before going to the studio Eddy called to encourage me. By now, I was excited and hopeful I would get the role, although it was still a bit eerie to me.
I arrived for the screen test. It was simple and hardly took any time. The lady taking the test was warm and friendly and made me feel at ease. I remember feeling weird, as if I was playing out one of the most dramatic roles in not only American history, but world history. A story that would never end, a loss that would never die, a life and legacy that could never be replaced, and a love that would always endure. It was a very humbling experience to say the least.
I also knew the story and film was highly controversial and that it was stirring up a lot of people. I wasn’t privy to the storyline, and I was concerned about its historical accuracy and how it would affect President Kennedy’s legacy. I was also naturally concerned how it would affect me, my immediate family and my career if I were chosen to play this magnanimous role. I had also heard, through the grapevine, that the script suggested a true conspiracy and that there were inferences that President Lyndon Baines Johnson, the FBI and CIA in his administration were responsible for this ghastly murder.
This was not news to me, although it was shocking every time I heard this internally in my family. There were many dynamics to this reality and movie project going on with me. Many that I internalized and kept secret until recently.
What Oliver Stone and most of the general public never knew is that I am related to *both President Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson. I am related to the victim and the alleged murderer. I was truly freaked out and there were a multitude of opposing forces and feelings going on with me internally and in my family. Our family needs a healing, just as the world does.
But deep in my soul I was disturbed by the reality, the juxtaposition of good and evil, light and dark, victim and murderer and it cut right to the very heart of my immediate family. How very odd. I thought. God must have a profound reason for this connection, planned far in advance – dating back to 1915; however, it would take me many years to put it all together. What I did know and believe in was God’s meticulous, impeccable, undeniable plan and that even out of evil and darkness his love and light would prevail. But in the meantime, I had no idea how or why he had chosen me and my family to play out his incredible destiny of healing and understanding.
At the time I was just anxious to hear rather I got the role or not, and what all that would entail.
*It is interesting to note that John Joseph Kennedy is related to both JFK and LBJ. LBJ's great grandmother, Luci Barnett was cousins to John Joseph Kennedy's great grandmother, Cora Christy of the Barnett family from Atlanta, Georgia. Her daughter was Caroline Christy-Kennedy who married JJK's grandfather, Dr. Michael Francis Kennedy, Jr. of Charleston, South Carolina, circa 1915.
* * * * * * * * * * *
It is a very unique bloodline that I would be related to both JFK and LBJ. As a family member of both lineage's, I AM privy to the highest intelligence. So it is within my very family lineage that I must help heal what happened in Dallas in 1963. My campaign for President 2004, and speaking up against the evil in America and around the world today is doing just that it in very subtle, yet profound ways. We all need forgiveness. The world needs forgiveness so we can move forward. We cannot live successfully and honestly in the present or the future until the truth is revealed and true justice is served. The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth will set us free!

RUNNING FOR THE PRESIDENT - JULY 2004
PRESS RELEASE & LETTER TO THE PEOPLE
John Joseph Kennedy Vows to Run for President as a "True" Democrat
ATLANTA, GA. JULY 30, 2004 - Atlanta Campaign Headquarters.
Dear Friends and Fellow Americans,
After the Democratic National Convention last night I was asked by a television producer if my campaign would “split the Democratic Party”. My answer is this, and always has been: I am a True Democrat! A True American! I did not vote for the war in Iraq, as did all four of my opponents. I passionately and publicly spoke up against it and warned of the dangers it would cause America and the world. My vision has sadly come to pass.
Senator Kerry now claims he was “deceived” and “misled” into voting for the war. He is a “war hero” and has decades of political savvy under his belt, yet he claims naiveté. I beg to differ. Senator Edward Kennedy, Senator Robert Byrd from West Virginia and 21 other True American Senators had the courage, wisdom and conviction to vote against it. They did the right thing at the right time!
Senator Kerry, Senator Edwards, and let us never forget Senator Hillary Clinton; like the rest of them, she too voted for the fraudulent war in Iraq. Everyone who had the power we gave them that voted for the war, has the blood of Iraq and every American killed or harmed as a direct result of the war on their hands. Forever! It is not reversible.
They each stood at a moment in time, when the right and moral decision was absolutely critical. They failed us, and that is the reason and I am running for the Presidency. I will not split the party or America. I will unify it! I want every vote from True Democrats. I want every vote from every Republican that wants Bush out of the White House. I want all the Independents and every American who is Undecided to listen to what I have to say, what I have to offer; a fresh start for America and above all, America first! We are not the United States of Iraq or the United States of Afghanistan or the Unites States of the World. We are the United States of America and it is time we take care of our own!
There is a resounding, widening gap in this election. There is something that is profoundly missing, something that is not resonating with real people in both parties and across the board. There is a hunger for truth, honesty, strength, compassion and real leadership. The American people are intelligent and we can hear what is true and what isn't.
That magical spark is missing! I have the vision and the plan for a new America; a New Humanity that will ignite that spark. It is the spark of life borne in the human heart. It is the flame in the heart of every American, young and old alike; all races, all religions, all cultures, all sexes, gay or straight, democrat or republican and it is America's responsibility to enkindle that spark and universally ignite the world!
We have been given everything, yet we stand to lose it all.
Each of us now stands at a new crossroads in history, just as my opponents did on October, 11, 2002 during the Senate Roll Call of the second session of the 107th Congress. This time I urge you not to claim naiveté, but reclaim America and your personal power and rights.
On November 2, 2004 the future of America and the world is in your hands, literally. I ask you to exercise your ultimate power, the power of your voice, the power of your vote, and write me in: John Joseph Kennedy as your next President…..to right the wrongs of America!
Your vote, support, volunteerism and donations mean everything to me and my campaign. I ask you to continue to give what your heart dictates.
Thank you!
John Joseph Kennedy

WHY I STOOD UP FOR AMERICA IN 2004
The most critical truth is that the four primary candidates for the highest offices in our land, Mr. George W. Bush, Mr. Dick Cheney, Senator John Kerry and Senator John Edwards all voted for the war in Iraq. Period. Each man had an opportunity for greatness and they failed.
John Kerry and John Edwards are followers. They are not leaders! They failed the American people and the world. Their names are forever etched in history along with Ms. Hillary Clinton and all the so-called leaders who voted for the war in Iraq and for the Patriot Act, thus raping the American people of our Constitutional Rights, especially our rights to personal privacy.
I am just one man; one proud American citizen with a political legacy that began 125 years ago. Although many American’s were afraid to speak out, or were crucified for standing up against this war, I strongly spoke out against it as loud as I could. I warned of the perils it would bring to all of us. I sent letters to the Oval Office, Mr. and Mrs. Cheney, Senators and members of Congress. I had it circulated to more than 10,000 people around the world and to the media. I appeared on television, “Voices Over Violence” and warned of the danger to America if Mr. Bush proceeded with this evil war.
I called for a prayerful vigil in hopes he would see the light of truth; yet he did not.
I have now been called to serve God and my country as the TRUE DEMOCRAT CANDIDATE for the Presidency, to right the wrongs of America!
America First and children our highest priority!
We are a family and we must take care of our own...first. As President of the United States of America I will begin rebuilding the infrastructure of our country by allotting back to the citizens of the United States of America, dollar for dollar, what has gone into the war in Iraq.
This is only a start, a good start. It is a start in the right direction to begin the healing of America.
* * * * * * * * * *
MY PLATFORM – 11 KEY ISSUES FOR 2004 (& 2008) America First...Right the Wrongs!
NATIONAL SECURITY: This is my highest priority...America first! It's an inside job! At the highest level on down, I will see that those who are really responsible for the insidious acts of terrorism in our country, and around the world, be prosecuted to the fullest extent of all domestic and international laws. Right the Wrong!
IRAQ: U.S. occupation of Iraq to cease as a Bush family Nazi-esque imposed "Concentration Camp". As President I will insure that our military and the TRUE SPIRIT of the American people join forces with the United Nations as life-giving humanitarians to rebuild the mass-destruction created by the murderous Bush family in Iraq and other parts of the world. This insanity is going to stop! Period! Right the Wrong!
NATIONAL ECONOMY: As President I will support and initiate a total economic reformation to include balancing the budget, laying the groundwork for a return to the Gold Standard and many other solid programs to free Americans from the bondage of debt and fear that has enslaved them for many years. Create new jobs with fair and realistic wages and benefits. Right the Wrong!(For more on jobs see *Spirit of Entrepreneurship-item 11)
STOP THE WAR AGAINST CHILDREN! Non-Violence in Schools. Non-Violence in children's television programming, publishing, games and websites. Criminal prosecution of everyone that violates or contributes to this abusive violence against children. Far-reaching child abuse programs for Prevention of Child and Domestic Abuse. Healing of innocent children who are victims of child abuse. This is of the utmost importance and lies at the very heart of the spiritual malady plaguing America. I have worked for the last 20 years as a citizen, Board Member of San Francisco Child Abuse Council (1985-1986), an activist, writer, motivational speaker, and producer on all of these issues. I have a profound awareness and understanding of these issues, and a comprehensive, non-negotiable plan to remedy them. Right the Wrong!
NON-VIOLENCE IN THE MEDIA-All Genres!As President I will initiate an ecliptic program to end the prevailing violence in the media, which permeates every aspect of our lives and mind. Mind is one of the greatest powers there is. Thought is our use of this power. We must order our minds to think positively and constructively at all times. End the fictitious scripting in the news media! Truth, and only Truth, will set us free! Right the Wrong!
COMPASSIONATE MISSION TO END THE WAR ON HOMELESSNESS:Rebuild the infrastructure of America First dollar for dollar what has been allotted for the war in Iraq. We must begin with the homeless, the poor and the tens of millions of Americans who are only a few paychecks away from being homeless! Right the Wrong!
UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE/HEALTH: It is appalling that the richest nation in the World has 44 Million Americans without Health Care. Affordable Health Care for All! As President, I will also fight to find a cure for A.I.D.S. I will support and promote the ultimate care of A.I.D.S patients and those afflicted with the HIV virus both in America and globally. I will lift the ban on stem cell research. Right the Wrong!
RESTORATION OF OUR CIVIL and CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS:As President, I will totally repeal the fraudulent “Patriot Act”, with a special focus on individuals Rights to Privacy. I will institute constitutional law, restore all individual rights of privacy and autonomy that is the birthright of every American citizen. We must never forget who stripped these from us! It was not only the Republican Bush family administration, but also masquerading Democrats, including Senator John Kerry, Senator John Edwards, Ms. Hillary Clinton, et al. I will re-design the abusive Social Security system (there is nothing "secure" about your SSN) with its criminal and flagrant abuse of our individual rights to privacy, by issuing every American citizen a new Personal Security Number (PSN) and abolishing the SSN as we know it today.
I will start with a clean slate. Every American deserves this. Furthermore, I will continue to expose the secret government and black box budgets and make the government transparent, accountable and responsive to the US citizens. I will stop the intimidation of US citizens. I will stop the fear tactics by the Bush family administration and US government. I will re-direct military spending to domestic programs of health, homelessness and create a new infrastructure to support and finance humanitarian programs for the handicapped and under-privileged.
I support all civil rights for ALL people and whole-heartedly support the legal recognition of same-sex unions, thereby allowing equal rights and benefits to gay couples. Simple solution: Equal rights for ALL humankind. Right the Wrong!
ENVIRONMENT and ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE: Protect the oceans and her inhabitants! Permanent ban on Low and Mid-Frequency Sonar Testing and international whaling. Strictest enforcement of the laws to prevent toxic waste, toxic dumping and toxic industries. I will restore and enforce all environmental protection laws that have been stripped, raped and illegally destroyed by the Bush family administration. As I have always done, I will make a life-long commitment to the environment and protect our wilderness areas.
I will stop the Bush family's manipulation of the elements of nature (hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, earthquakes) which have wrecked insurmountable havoc on our environment and disturbed the natural-flow of all life on this planet. They (especially Bush Sr.) have done this for personal, political and financial gain and greed. I have already begun to expose their "stalking and looting of the American people" with their vast environmental insurance scams and other seemingly benevolent programs and will continue to do so until the insanity stops! And it stops at the front door of the maniacal Bush family and their control over the White House. Period. They have no real power. Only control. There is a difference. It is time the entire Bush family, and all environmental polluters, are held criminally, socially and spiritually accountable!
Furthermore, we must no longer be held hostage to oil!
We must create long overdue development of renewable energy resources and alternative technologies, universal standard of fuel economy and renewable energy technologies. Right the Wrong!
REBUILD INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS: Repair the damage that the entire Bush family, and their criminal administrations in Washington, D.C., Texas and Florida have perpetuated onto the world. Restore America's dignity and integrity in the eyes of the world. Heal international relationships, fix broken treaties, declare peace and institute a Department of Peace and a Junior Academy of Peace for Children. Right the Wrong!
SPIRIT OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP: In each of us is a creative spirit! As your President I will restore the Arts in schools. I will also encourage, support and finance the Arts and the bright ideas and business ventures of the American People. Renew and rebuild the American Dream through creativity, the Arts and Small Businesses, thus creating unlimited American-conceived and initiated job opportunities for our citizens. Americans are our greatest asset and we must always celebrate the successes of all Americans; not tear them down once they have achieved it like they did to Martha Stewart; the personification of the America Dream! Right the Wrong!

"THE TRUTH WILL SET US FREE”
Exposing the REAL Evil in our Country & Government & Announcing My Intentions for 2008
Letter to the People of the World, November 22, 2004 (this has been read by over one million subscribers/readers)
Dear Friends, Supporters, JJK Electors and Voters,
Welcome to the revolution! It is a spiritual revolution. A revolution of the Spirit. A revolution for freedom: spiritual freedom, American freedom, Constitutional freedom, personal freedom. Freedom from the bondage that has insidiously and violently gripped our nation and our world. Bondage of lies, deception and hatred borne out of the distorted minds and hearts of men and women we believed in. Men and women we elected to the highest offices in this land, sacred offices.
Their insatiable hunger for power and wealth has lead to greed, war and mass destruction of all life--a violence in the world, as never seen before. All for the sake of a few. All for the sake of money, power and control. Empty treasures. Hollow victories. Spiritual warfare.
I am writing to you today, on the forty-first anniversary of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy's death. My heart is pierced today. I was seven years old when I met the President. I was nine when he died. His life and his death has inspired and haunted me my entire life.
What a unique day it is today. To wake up and know that because of his profound life I was able to stand up for America in a way no other candidate has ever been able to do in the history of the United States, nor at a time more needed. It was my duty and honor to run for the Presidency of the United States this year. When I decided to run I realized that I could not have done this, nor would it have sparked the hearts of millions of people around the world as it has, had President Kennedy not blazed a brilliant trail before me.
Kennedy for President! 2004? What? people exclaimed! Americans that heard of my campaign and millions more around the world took notice. Instantly, hope was restored, purity prevailed and love returned to the political landscape of America.
President Kennedy's death was a great loss to me, all of our family, America and the world. Yet his life and work lives on today in immeasurable ways. Do you realize we would not have computers, the Internet, cell phones, satellites or modern technology as we know it today had it not been for President Kennedy's courageous and profound vision to go to the moon? To explore space. To take us boldly into New Frontiers.
Yet, while he envisioned New Frontiers, others behind his back envisioned hatred and oppression. While he envisioned peace on earth, goodwill towards all men and the Peace Corp, others behind his back plotted violence and social injustices. While he envisioned hope for humanity, others behind his back plotted death and destruction. While he envisioned beauty, the arts, creativity and love, others behind his back envisioned violence, weapons and nuclear war.
While he and Jacqueline envisioned dignity and grace, others behind their back were blinded with rageful jealousies. While the President and First Lady shined their unparalleled beacons of light, individually and collectively, others behind their back groveled in the darkness plotting ways to sabotage their love, their light, their lives.
As history continues to play itself out we see clearly that President Kennedy's light can never be snuffed out. His was the light of God. God's light can never, ever be snuffed out. The evil behind President Kennedy's back that conspired to murder him in hopes of diminishing or snuffing out his light were wrong. Dead wrong! Today his light shines brighter than ever and will continue to radiate love, hope and promise for the world. For all time.
His vision was so far-reaching it propelled us into the 21st century and beyond in both profound and subtle ways we could never fathom. His vision could only have come from the Divine. For it was a vision for the very best of humanity, the very best for our planets and for all life. It was, and is, life-giving. Not life-taking.
I have been waiting for God to speak to me--the right time to reach out and say Thank You to each and every one of you for supporting me in my Presidential campaign this year. When I woke up this morning my heart was pierced. It was heavy with loss and grief--yet bittersweet with love and gratitude. I knew today was the day to share with you my reflections, my thoughts, my hopes and dreams and my deepest appreciation and affection for all of you.
Today is a day of remembrance for President Kennedy, Jacqueline, Bobby, John Jr., my great-great grandparents John D'Arcy Kennedy and Caroline de Rodriques Kennedy, my great grandparents Congressman Michael Francis Kennedy and Margaret Hand Butterly Kennedy, my grandparents Dr. Michael Francis Kennedy, Jr. and Caroline Christy Kennedy, and my parents Michael Francis Kennedy III and Phyllis Marie Bartles Kennedy. And last but not least, my beloved sister Cecilia Madeline Kennedy. Cecilia was only 32 when she was assassinated after fighting many years for justice to free many American's free who were falsely imprisoned in Thailand, including my little brother Christopher Patrick Kennedy.
In 1991 Christopher was asked to be a courier for classified business documents and travel once or twice a month to exotic places around the world to deliver them. After several trips he discovered he was not delivering top secret business documents, but money. He was being used to launder drug money. He tried to get out of it, however, he was pressured to make just one more trip; to Bangkok, Thailand. He was told if he made this last trip they would pay him double and he would not be asked to do it again.
After delivering the briefcase of money, as he was ready to board an airplane at the airport in Bangkok, he was set up by the American and Thai DEA, claiming he was in possession of millions of dollars worth of heroin. They pointed to a suitcase that was not his, never been touched by him and claimed it was his. When they opened it up they found the heroin. CNN was also there to report it live so we knew it was a set up. Sadly, we watched in shock and horror on TV as our little brother was being arrested. We had no idea he was even going to Thailand. He was threatened not to tell us anything.
Chris was given two life terms instead of the death sentence which is common for major drug smuggling in Thailand. Cecilia was only 26 at the time. She worked as a part-time model in San Francisco and a legal secretary and was enjoying her lovely life, as we all were, when this atrocity happened.
Cecilia Madeline Kennedy was not going to sit around and let our little brother perish to death in a disease-ridden and barbaric prison clear across the world, so she went to Thailand to see what she could do. Cecilia discovered the suitcase was not his, and that many innocent young Americans were falsely imprisoned for the very same reason. They send their victims to Thailand for their last trip, knowing Thailand is one of the few countries that does not have an extradition treaty with the United States for major drug smugglers. This way they will never be able to identify the drug ring responsible for their demise. So they set them up in Thailand to dies a long and cruel slow death. Others lose their minds and go insane. It is so very sad. So tragic.
Cecilia was so profoundly moved by this social and legal injustice to our brother and 54 other Americans, that she single-handedly put together a brilliant international legal defense team for Chris. She raised the money herself and after many years of fighting for him she proved before the Supreme Court of Thailand that he was set up, thus reversing his life term to 40 years.
As she peeled away the layers of the criminal organization behind all of this, shortly before her death Cecilia uncovered that President Clinton, Hillary Clinton and a web of respected American politicians, including one of our first cousins, the black sheep of our family, John Hand Kennedy, Jr. of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma were behind this major political money laundering scheme. Our cousin had served as Secretary of State of Oklahoma from 1990-1994 under Governor David Walters.
The rest of our family would not learn that our cousin was behind this, with the Clintons, until after her death. Reporters from the United States, South America and Thailand who had been following Cecilia’s courageous plight to free our brother and the other Americans had carefully been following her story. Cecilia had also gone back to school to Stanford University’s School of Broadcasting to become a news journalist. She had just finished her courses when she was murdered. She had made many friends in the field of broadcast journalism and they were angered by her death, which was covered up and reported as a heart attack (for a 32 year old).
I was also a former journalist for The Daily Law Journal/Journal Record (currently owned by the New York Times) and an investigative writer. So I began my own investigation with the help of other journalists and good people that wanted justice to be served. The truth slowly began to unravel and I discovered what Cecilia had unearthed. That our cousin and Governor David Walters had been in business with the Clintons when he was governor of Arkansas and after he became President. Then the destruction of so many lives began.
As Secretary of State of Oklahoma my cousin grossly abused his power and position and began setting up many bogus corporations using dead people’s Social Security numbers, including many of our deceased family members, as a means of filtering the drug money.
President Clinton, Governor Walters and my cousin came under intense investigation in 1994. Unbeknownst to me at the time, because I had denounced my cousin years before, my cousin was quietly impeached in Fall of 1994. He told us he quit so he could go back into private business. He and Governor Walters thought they were indestructible and that they would have another term and then my cousin would have two terms as Governor and the crime syndicate under their rule would continue. What they didn’t count on was Miss Cecilia Madeline Kennedy, all 100 lbs of her, bringing down their house of cards!
To her shock and dismay, Cecilia had also discovered that the Clinton’s, Governor Walters and my cousin were also the ones behind the Oklahoma City bombing. They blew it up for two reasons. First, the Social Security office was in the Murrah Building that had all the evidence of the social security numbers and corporations they had fraudulently created for their campaign and to hide their drug cartel. Secondly, Federal judges who worked in the Murrah building were about to indict my cousin, Governor Walters, President William Jefferson Clinton, First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton and others in this world-wide drug and money laundering scheme. So they blew them up, children and all!
Cecilia also forced the American-Thailand Extradition Treaty to be ratified to bring American prisons back to our homeland for safety, medical care and just trials. The day she completed all of this, one courageous young woman, her life was taken. A few weeks later nine American prisoner returned to America and their families all because of Cecilia. My brother would be set free three years later.
I have seen up close and personal the evil in life. I have seen it in my own family. I have always fought against it and will always fight for justice. I tried to appear before the Oklahoma City Grand Jury with all my evidence against my cousin, but I was denied. My life was also threatened and there were several attempts on my life. But I persevered and knew one day the Truth would come out. That day is here. I have first hand knowledge of the wrongs in America and I intend to correct them, once and for all!
So today I look back on all the heroic and noble people in my family that influenced my life in so many ways. Those who came before me, generations ago and those in my immediate family who gave me hope, inspiration and love. A profound kind of love born in me, passed down to me and woven with perception, knowledge, understanding and compassion that makes me uniquely who I am today.
I am so deeply grateful to be a Kennedy. So blessed to be from the D’Arcy family and heir of the Magna Carta. I am proud to be a descendent of King Charlemeagne, Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire and three enforcers of the Magna Carta, Baron Robert D’Arcy, Lord Norman D’Arcy and Sir Thomas D’Arcy, and the famous French martyr Joan of Arc (Joan D’Arc), from another branch of my family.
I am just as proud to be the grandson of a coal miner from West Virginia on my mothers side, my maternal grandparents, Clarence and Daisy Bartles. I am who I am because of God, my family and my life’s journey. You see, I could not stand up proudly or so boldly for you, for America, for the world had it not been for those brave souls who came before me.
So today I honour them, as I do each of you who stepped up to stand side-by-side with me to raise the torch of Truth so that our flag can be raised to new and brighter heights. So that the sail that was taken out of in beginning in 1963 will billow strongly and freely, once again.
In essence, what we stood up for was love. Love for God, love for our great country, love for democracy, love for freedom, love for our innocent brothers and sisters around the world, love for our environment, love for our oceans, love for our children and the many generations to come. This spiritual war is not over. The revolution has begun in earnest!
We have been told the write-in count will not be fully available to us until December 11th. We will reveal what is reported. In the meantime there is very good news on the horizon regarding my campaign. There is also a twist to this election which will play itself out in my favor. Many new doors have opened to me to usher in the New Humanity and today I officially announce my candidacy for the 2008 Presidential election.
Yes, I was blocked from main stream media. Yes, I block from some state to enter the race. Yes, there is so much fraud in the election perpetuated by the Bush-Clinton-Bush crime syndicates that we may never know the truth of any of the vote count but there are investigations underway.
Yes, it is true that they are all behind it. Yes, it is true that the Hillary and Bill Clinton assassinated JFK, Jr., Carolyn and Lauren Bassette. Yes, it is true JFK, Jr. was getting ready to announce his bid for the New York Senate race, which he would clearly have won, when his plane was sabotaged with a military laser gun causing the electromagnetic instruments to go askew.
Yes, it is true Hillary would do anything to steal his life and his Senate seat, even though she was not from New York, and nothing more than white-trash (and from Arkansas-not New York). Yes, it is true after they murdered JFK Jr. they created an ad campaign naming Chelsea Clinton as the new JFK Jr., but that campaign soon fell flat on its ugly face.
Yes, it is true I took them all by surprise when I announced my campaign as a write-in in the eleventh hour. They thought they had killed off the last John Kennedy that was any threat to their bloodthirsty power game.
And never, ever forget the World Trade Center in New York City was blown up under her watch, not to mention the obvious—under the watch of the Bush crime family. Never, ever forget the Oklahoma City bombing and the first World Trade Center bombings were under the Clinton reign of terror. Never forget all the innocent men, women and children they murdered.
Never ever forget, because if you do, you never, ever will be given a chance again to stand up for the America we all know and love! The America that is crying out for all the violence and hatred, and fear and lies to stop! The America that is being suffocated with a blanket of evil masked in the faces of leadership—the tormented faces of George and Barbara Bush, George W, Bush, Dick Cheney and the dying faces of William Jefferson Clinton and the dubious Senator from New York, Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Look up my disgraced cousin, John Hand Kennedy Jr. in Oklahoma City. Look into his hideous face, his hollow eyes. They are the eyes of death. As are all the others who stole so many innocent lives. The death masks of all those they murdered are now holograms in their mind’s eyes. They cannot close their eyes without seeing the faces of all they destroyed. Mark my words: Judgment Day is here! The curse is reversed. Spell the Clinton’s name backwards and it spells NOT NIL C?
If you need a reminder of the real evil in the world just look in their faces. Look in their blank eyes. But don’t look too long. Turn your sight to God. Turn your focus on the good. Look to the beauty of life and love one another, and yourselves, as God loves us!
Someone said to me: John, you can’t change the world. And I replied: Well, I can sure try! That’s all God wants us to do is try, and try our very best!
I am doing my very best for America and the world and you must continue to do yours. Stand up and be heard! Join the revolution! Fight the good fight and join me as we rise above the real axis of evil in our own country and reclaim what is ours by Divine birthright: Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness!
Love and Blessings,
I remain,
The Hon. John Joseph Kennedy
Kennedy for President 2008

LAST CHAPTER
FULL CIRCLE
I now fully understand the depth of what my mother so prophetically uttered upon my birth: “Oh my God, he looks like a bullfighter...and the bull!”
My mother was right all along.
And now today, fifty years later, I stand before the world, charging full force into my destiny, fighting the good fight; not with weapons of mass-destruction, or violence or war, but with the sword of Excalibur; the sword of Truth…with the power of my words and my extraordinary vision for America and the world. And always, with love, compassion and respect for all life.
The pen is mightier than the sword!
